means that the total cost to the City is $2.3 million dollars. The

they can be and then he explained the sewer rate. Mr Wheeler
stated that we are doing everything we can to lobby for funds for
assistance for the water projects, but so far, there are none; and

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Comprehensive Public Access Plan (Continued from 7-6-92). Mr Hildt

constraints, a grant application was not pursued; and then
requested that this be continued to give staff enough time to
rework this draft. Ms Bloomfield then reviewed changes made to
this draft compared to the previous draft. After several points of
clarification, Mr Hildt suggested that this be held over so that
the recommendations of the Planning Commission and those of staff
can be studied point by point ahead of the meeting. It was the
consensus of the Council that this be held over after testimony
from this evening so that all the testimony can be included as
well. Mayor Clise opened the hearing to the Public. Shirley Beard

Comprehensive Master Program. Karen Ericksen was recogni2:ed and
requested that Council discuss how waterfront development ~lill be
conditioned and then discussed several policies in the draft and
asked that the "Public Access" definition be changed. James DeLeo
was recognized and stated that no one will be using these accesses
other than tourists. There being no further testimony, Mayor Clise
closed the hearing to the Public and turned to the Council. A
lengthy discussion of the property owner's liability; policy,
performance and design guidelines; signage; property rights
infringement; bicycles not allowed; map and chart accuracy; and the
concept of the plan ensued. Councilmember Camfield made a motion
to continue this discussion and to take new testimony to September
21, 1992, which was seconded by Councilmember Wolpin and passed
unanimously by voice vote.
Variance Application 9205-01 -Elizabeth Berman. Ms Bloomfield
reviewed the findings, conclusions and conditions of the Planning
Commission recommending approval of the variance. Mayor Clise
opened the hearing to the Public. Elizabeth Berman, the proponent,
was recognized and spoke in favor of the variance. Loren Knutson,
a neighbor, was recognized spoke in favor the variance. There
being no further testimony, Mayor Clise closed the hearing to the
Public and turned to the Council for disposition. After
discussion, Councilmember Camfield made a motion that the Council
adopt the following findings, conclusions and conditions and
approve Variance Application 9205-01 which was seconded by
Councilmember McCulloch and passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Findings:
1.
The proposes to build three single-family residences with a 5-
foot side setback and a 10-foot side setback on thrE~e lots
located in the P-I zoning district. The Port Townsend
Municipal Code (PTMC) requires 10-foot setbacks on each side
in the P-I zoning district.
2.
The lots are bordered to the east by Kuhn street, to thl9 north
by 58th Street and to the south by 57th Street. The lots are
legally described as Lots 1, 7 and 8 of Block 42 in the
California Addition to the City of Port Townsend. The
remainder of the subject block is developed with single--family
residences. The block to the north which is also zoned P-I is
the site of a county park. The surrounding blocks tot he
west, east and south, which are all zoned R-I, are also
developed with residences.
3.
The applicant proposes three re~idences with 5-foot interior
side setbacks to the respective western property lines. The
side setbacks from abutting Kuhn Street are proposed to be 10
feet.
4.
Although it is difficult to accurately establish the location
of the lot lines for the remainder of the block, the existing
residences appear to have been built to the 10-foot !;etback
requirement of the P-I zoning district. The surrounding
neighborhood is developed to the R-I zoning requirements.
Conclusions:
1.
The proposed variance would not amount to a rezone nor
constitute change in the district boundaries shown on the
official zoning map.
2.
Because of the more restrictive setbacks on a P-I lot and
because surrounding properties are all developed as
residential, a literal interpretation of the provisions: of the
Port Townsend Municipal Code would deprive the property owner
of the rights commonly enjoyed by other properties similarly
situated in the district under Title 17 (Zoning).
53
54
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 3, 1992, Cont.
3.
with the conditions prescribed below, and because other
residences in the surrounding properties within the R-I zone
are developed to the setbacks ~equested, and because the
subject block is developed exclusively as residential, the
variance would not, if granted, confer a special privilege to
the subject property that is denied to other lands in the same
district.
4.
The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the
public welfare and injurious to the property or improvements
in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated.
5.
The reasons set forth in the above-referenced application
justify the granting of the variance, and the variance is the
minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of
the land.
6.
Because the granting of the variance would be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of Title 17 (Zoning) of the
Port Townsend Municipal Code, the City Council grants the
variance as conditioned.
Conditions:
1.
If the subject lots are developed for any use other than
residential, this variance shall automatically become null and
void.
2.
The height limit on the subject lots shall be 30 feet.
